On Saturday, Indonesian police identified the leader of the group of six arrested on Batam as Gigih Rahmat Dewa with the plot to shoot Rocket from Batam Island to Singapore. The group was suspected of having direct links to Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian who had lived in Solo but is now believed to be fighting with Islamic State in Syria.
